Definition

A content contributor is a user who can add items to a page group page. A contributor is assigned by the page owner. Page owners automatically have full contributor privileges on any pages that they own.

There are two levels of contributor:

• Manage Content: Contributors with these privileges can add new content to the page, and edit and delete any content in the page.
• Manage Items With Approval: Contributors with these privileges can add items to the page or edit any existing items. However, the items will not be published in the portal until they are approved. Contributors can track the items waiting for approval by using the My Approval Status portlet.

If you have the privileges required to add items to a page, you will see an Edit link on the page. Click this link to access the tools required to add items to the page. If you do not see this link, you can only view the page and its contents.
